Using Job Fairs To Decide On A Career Path
Posted on November 9th, 2008
Making up your mind as to what you want to do in life is so difficult. Especially today, given the myriad options, with each profession looking better than the other. And you’re not too sure what exactly it is you want to pursue. Enter the wonderful world of job fairs. Walk in and you’ll see a vista of opportunities light up before your eyes, options even within professions. You can talk to people from various companies, find recruiters who will tell you what they are looking for, compare different salary structures and perquisites and have the opportunity to see what’s on offer. For someone just out of college looking for a job, job fairs hold immense potential. They are eye-openers to the big world of career opportunities outside the campus. It could be your first reality check as to what awaits you.
Job fairs help you to assess different companies away from the terrifying environs of their offices. It also helps you to be exposed to the different kinds of interviews that different companies conduct. It is easier to ask a prospective employer questions about his company in a more objective setting. Most of all, it gives you the opportunity of choice. It is probably this that makes you know what you want or don’t. And this makes it easier to be clearer in your final decision.
Job fairs are held for various professions. The burgeoning healthcare industry, for example has many such fairs all over the country. This could be a great opportunity for professionals wanting to enter the industry as well as professionals who are looking for new opportunities. Whether the posts are for physicians, assistants, the nursing cadre or other supporting areas, here is a place where people can not just compare opportunities and benefits but also look at specific programs that the employer is associated with to see if it could be a perfect fit with what they are looking for.
Always remember to pick up all the available printed material from job fairs so you can read it at your leisure when you get back home. It’s always good to look at the fine print. Also remember to pick up the free tote that most give to carry them so you’re not distracted with a vast amount of brochures and material to manage. Go to as many job fairs as you can - you’ll find the world of work unfolding its wonderful opportunities before you.

Your Next Job: Looking For The "Right Opportunity"? (Part 1 Of A 5Part Series)
Posted on November 3rd, 2008
During interviews it’s often the little things that disqualify a candidate from consideration - and they don’t even realize it. One of those is the use of phrases that are trite and ambiguous. Because people go to interviews without searching inside themselves for why theyre changing and what their ideal job would be, they frequently use phrases that do more harm than good.
These ambiguous phrases may sound good, but they don’t mean anything and aren’t impressive. Their meaning is relative, vague, and subject to a WIDE scope of interpretation. The most common of these is the right opportunity.
When asked for clarification, experienced job seekers often follow the question with a long silence, then say, I would say it’s… or else buy time by repeating the question. What usually emerges is something that - clearly - has taken shape for the first time. Less experienced job seekers launch into an off-the-cuff answer - the brain is thinking as the mouth is talking, and there’s a direct line from one to the other without much space between the two.
The Right Opportunity trips off the tongue so easily. When you say it, you have a vague idea of what the right opportunity might be, but you usually haven’t defined it - or you’d be sharing your definition of the phrase instead of using it.
And to you, the right opportunity could mean anything relative to whatever company you are interviewing with - usually clarified by something you didn’t like. Too far to commute? Not the right opportunity. Base salary too low? Not the right opportunity. Too much travel? Not the right opportunity.
Your Right Opportunity needs to be defined by the positive - not the negative. The Right Opportunity is what you DO want, not what you DON’T want. If you prepare prior your job search, you know what you must have in a job to make you happy, in what priority those factors fall, and you are ready to recognize it when you see it.
For instance:
- do you prefer smaller companies where you can roll up your sleeves and wear many hats?
- or smaller companies that need help growing?
- are you a corporate guy who wants to work his way through different positions or divisions to the VP level, aiming eventually for a top-level spot?
- is that why you got your MBA?
- or are you hoping the company will pay your way through school to get your MBA?
- are you looking to develop your leadership skills and get into management?
- do you want to stay part of the team instead of being a leader of the team?
- do you want to travel? not travel? work alone? in a group? develop? or just implement? solve problems and clean up? or come into a company that is running smoothly?
The RIGHT OPPORTUNITY for one person is clearly NOT the RIGHT OPPORTUNITY for someone else. Without a definition, it says nothing for you or about you - except that your interview strategy is unplanned, your goal is undefined, and you haven’t done much homework on a very important subject - your next job.

Not Happy With Your Nursing Career Or Need To Start One? Travel Nurses Are In Great Demand!
Posted on November 1st, 2008
If you are a nurse or plan to be one you may want to check out travel nurses. The benefits are huge and the demand for nurses in the United States is in dire need.
In the United States the number of young people entering the nursing field has declined, so much so, that it is feared that when the baby boomer nurses, who will soon retire, will put an immense strain on the medical profession.
With this great demand come many incentives to entice nurses to relocate, for example:
1)If you are coming from another country, you can be sponsored to obtain visa green cards and a social security number that will allow you to start work immediately. If you have a husband and children, they also can get green cards so they can remain with you and live and work in the States.
2)The agency can assist you with moving expenses and help find a suitable lodging for you and your family.
3)Free dental, health and life insurance are often offered as an incentive,
4)401Ks with company matches may be offered to you.
5)License and NCLEX reimbursements may be offered to you.
6)Great pay!
It helps greatly to have experience in your field because if you do become a travel nurse you can be placed in a new hospital or facility and work in your specialized field immediately.
If you are not an experienced nurse then you may want to get that under your belt. Some hospitals want you to contract with them, but if you have any desire to relocate then you may want to pass that up and continue to train for that much needed experience. Some agencies will also place therapists and technicians.
If you are the adventurous type of person and want to experience many different facilities then you can be placed for 8 to 13 weeks at a particular place where your accommodations are taken care of for you. If you provide your own accommodations then you can get a generous subsidy for it. You can discuss what type of assignment you want and how long you want to do it and how many facilities you would like to work at. When your assignment is done you may want to consider a permanent residence or you may decide to resume a new assignment at a later date.
You will be providing a much needed service, travel to different parts of the country and meet lots of new people. It is an excellent way to find out the opportunities available and what kind of pay range there is and possibly relocating permanently.

Turn Your Professional Obstacles Into Opportunities
Posted on October 29th, 2008
Your daily grind has lost its groove. Your career is just a job that provides a paycheck. You dream of making a living doing what you most love, yet your thoughts are swiftly put to rest with the reasons you cant: you need more education, training or experience, you cant afford to pursue your ideal career or its not the right time.
Obstacles have as much power as you grant them - theyre nothing more than perception. Here are a few points to help you wrap your mind around your possibilities for success, regardless of your obstacles.
1. Know Your Dream Busters. Any thought that doesn’t support what you most want for yourself is a direct threat to your success. Put thoughts that start with I should, I could, I would, I might or I can’t to the test. Let’s be honest, these are usually excuses for not going after the prize. Try beginning one of these thoughts with I will . Say it out loud without thinking of the reasons why you can’t.
2. Take an Honest Look at Your Goals. Hesitation, procrastination and excuses may be a signal that you’re not focused on the right path for you. It’s not uncommon to pick up other people’s dreams without realizing; such as becoming a lawyer to make your parents proud. If you say I will and you don’t feel enthused about it, consider whether you really want to pursue that course of action.
3. Share Your Intentions. Knowing you will accomplish something leads to saying you will. Once youre clear about your intentions, incorporate them into your identity. Tell your friends, associates, family and even people you meet. Saying you will connects you to others who are willing to help you. Youll also experience a sense of accountability as you become an advocate for your dreams.
4. Turn Obstacles into Opportunities. Consider the actions needed to move past your obstacles the very first steps in working your dreams. Write down each obstacle and develop clear, measurable action steps to move past them. For example: if you havent asked for the promotion you want because you need to develop a particular skill set; find a class, teach yourself online or connect with a mentor. Draft a proposal that shows your competency for the desired position. Pitch your proposal. Consider other opportunities by reviving your resume and actively marketing yourself within your industry. Jump out of contemplation by doing something every day to move closer to your professional goals.
If your professional life is nothing more than work, you cant afford not to move past your obstacles. Commit to taking the steps needed to get to where you want to be. Your perceived obstacles will be replaced with motivation and momentum as you align your professional goals with what you really want for yourself. You’ll make more room in your life for success - simply by saying I will. As you look back, youll wonder why you ever thought I can’t.
